Kohima Science College

Kohima Science College at Jotsoma, established in 1961, is the oldest science college in Nagaland and remains the state's reference institution for undergraduate science — physics, chemistry and mathematics have been its backbone for decades, with computing added to the roster. It is a government college with an A grade from NAAC, and its fees make quality science education accessible in a state with limited alternatives; a large share of Nagaland's doctors, engineers and officers passed through it before heading elsewhere for professional degrees. The campus sits on a ridge at Jotsoma village just outside Kohima, with sweeping hill views and a cool climate. Life is quiet and costs are low. It suits students from Nagaland and neighbouring hill states who want a strong, affordable science foundation for entrance examinations, higher study or government service.
